For you Crete drivers.... Do you have a regular regional areas that you run or do you run anywhere in the lower 48. If regional, how big is your area? States you run?
There are some Regional fleets in most areas of the country that pay a little less than the OTR. The OTR guys run alot of Midwest and Northeast. The OTR drivers that live out west are required 45 days out because they have to run their fare share of the high paying (to Crete) Midwest/Northeast freight. Hard to say true 48 cause most of us don't get to touch the Northwest at all and rarely get to Cali. When I ask to run out West, the response is always "you got to be the in the right place at the right time cause we need to use the Western freight to get our Western drivers home".
